      Enabling a Direct Connection Between ForeFlight and Bad Elf GPS

      If the location services on your iOS device are not connecting to Maps in ForeFlight—which sometimes happens following updates to iOS—you still can get your GPS feed via a direct connection with Bad Elf. Here's how to enable a direct connection in ForeFlight.

      1. Navigate to the Settings icon in the top toolbar 
      2. Scroll to the bottom and select the Devices section 
      3. Click on Bad Elf GPS
      4. Enable Direct Connection
